DC Cars in Motor show 2014

AVANTI

DC Design of India has debuted its Avanti supercar at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo. The Avanti - whose name is a reference to the Studbaker Avanti from Tintin comics - will be put on sale at a starting price of $56,277. Initially, DC Design will only build 200 units per year, but it hopes to gradually increase production to about 2,000 units a year.
 
 
The new Avanti looks to have taken its design inspiration from vehicles like the Ferrari 458 Italia or the latest array of Lotus concepts with its aerodynamic slopes and aggressive angles, but its performance figures are far from the realm of these popular supercars.

Initially, it will be powered by a Ford four-cylinder turbo engine that delivers a total of 265 horsepower, mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Even its weight is too far off, especially considering that its body is made of aluminum and its body panels in fiberglass. It weighs in at 3,440 pounds, which allows the drivetrain to sprint the Avanti from 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds.
 
 
If DC Design would have promised a really cool sports car and delivered the Avanti, then we would have been excited about it. As of right now, the only thing supercar-like for this vehicle is the outlandish look, and that’s not something everyone will enjoy.
 
 
 
 
 
TIA

The new DC Tia is two-seater city car that is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine. This engine has a max power of 120 hp and peak torque of 190Nm. The engine is mated to a four speed gearbox.

Suspension duties are courtesy McPherson struts at the front and trailing arm setup at the rear. The new DC Tia boasts of a carbon composite space frame chassis and rides on 18-inch alloy wheels. The car has disc brakes all around. The new DC Tia measures just 2550 mm in length, is 1688 mm wide and is 1406 mm high, The car has a wheelbase of 1620 mm and tips the scale at 950 kgs. The new car has a top speed of 160 kmph and can dismiss 100kmph from standstill in just 9 seconds.
